Hello friends I turned on my Mac book pro there was a flicker of light and then the screen went dark ?please help
Did you buy the Applecare extended warranty? If not then you will need to pay for whatever repairs need to be done.
You will need to take the system to an Apple store Genius Bar for a check up.

my iphone was charging and then turned off and vant get it back on and tried resetting it with the home button...what can i do??
iPhone User Guide
Try this...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On... -
I've already tried plugging it in to reset-nothing.
I've tried holding the top and home button-nothing.
Plugging it into the wall-nothing.
Using a different cord- nothing.

I downloaded the latest iOS7 to my iPad and then the screen went blank and would not respond. I have tried pressing the two buttons together and briefly get the Apple logo but still can not restart, the logo disappears. I have tried connecting to my iMac to restore the iPad but the device does not show up (I have an old iMac). What else can I do?
You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 at the very least in order to sync your iPad with iTunes so you could update your Mac, if it can be updated, and if you care to do so.
If that's not an option, you will have to find someone that can restore the device for you with their computer running iTunes or make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them to restore the device for you.
I hope that you have an iCloud backup, because you will lose everything on the device when it is restored.
Snow Leopard can still be purchased in the U.S. Apple Online Store.

Also, I would not give up on the reset technique....holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. It takes about 10-15 seconds and sometimes just a little longer to get the logo to appear. -
My iPad just died. The gear symbol came up and then the screen went blank (turned off). It was fully charged so that wan't the issue.
That is indicating that the device has gone into recovery mode. Press just the Power button until the red Power Off slider appears and slide to turn it off. Then power it back up to see if it has exited Recovery Mode. If it has, then you should be good to go.
If it has not, then the issue you had that caused the iPad to turn off was one that put your device into Recovery mode requiring that you go through the recovery process (i.e., the reset did not process since the issue required a recovery to resolve). Here is a link that explains what you need to do to get out of Recovery Mode in that case:

i need help. i tried updating the software on my ipod touch, and it looked like it was working fine, because it said "verifying update", but suddenly the screen went black and when i tried to turn it back on, it only had a picture of a usb chord pointing to the itunes icon. what do i do?
Your iPod has dropped into Recovery mode. You'll need to restore it via iTunes on your computer.

My friend was sending a text with a pic as an attachment and then suddenly, she got a blank screen with the white apple logo and it then shut off. When she turned it back on, she discovered all her texts and her contacts were missing. How can she get them back? She's got a iOS 4.3.5 with a 16GB iPhone 4.
Connect to the computer she regularly syncs to, right click on the iPhone's name in iTunes, and choose "restore from backup".

It was about 30MB, it was loading and then I turned off the screen. A few minutes later I tried turning it back on and it stayed black. I tried connecting it to my Macbook Pro and it says that its receiving a wrong response. What could be wrong?
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Encore WT8-A starts to turn on but then the screen goes black!?
This began nearly a week ago, I had just installed a few apps and my battery died. When I tried to turn the tablet back on it showed a dark blue or even greyish screen. I waited over night and tried turning it out again...this time it began to start, showing the Toshiba start up screen, but then the screen went black.
I have tried to hold the power button, does not work. It will only partially work while on the charger, nothing happens unless it is plugged in.
I did do a Google search and found out that this could be a Bitlocker problem so I tried once again after waiting a few days, I was able to get to a screen allowing me o input a recovery key. The recovery key worked and then I was sent to a page saying that my PC started wrong, restart. When I allow it to do so the process starts all over again...
This tablet is only about 6 months old and I just started using it regularly a few months ago. It hasn't been damaged and I am certain there is no virus because I have software that I run weekly. I am clueless as to what to do to make this work. Has anyone else experienced this problem, if so how was it resolved?It seems that a few months ago Toshiba started shipping devices with Bitlocker enabled (one I bought a year ago did not have, one I bought in November did. I turned it off and decrypted the drive immediately.This seems to be an industry problem and not just Toshiba. "Someone" made a firmware revision that turned it back on since other Tablets have reported the same problem.
I have seen reports of three stages of Bitlocker:
1) Not encrypted - no key
2) Encrypted using a personal key (may be stored in your Microsoft account and recovered from there - is about 25 digits)
3) Encrypted but Bitlocker turned off. Key stored on hard drive and "decrypted on the fly". I suspect this is the problem and happens if Bitlocker is turned off but the drive is not decrypted (takes several minutes). If something happens to "lose" the key then there is a problem. I suspect the key is stored in the firmware (BIOS) and an update may wipe it..
What I would do for any tab is two things:
1) Open diskmgmt.msc and see if any drive mentions Bitlocker
2) Go to "Search" and enter "drive encryption". See what it says
If either mentions Bitlocker or "drive is encrypted" then I would go to Control Panel>Security>Bitlocker and decrypt the drive (not just turn off). If you need disk encryption then make sure you keep a copy of the key offline.
If that does not work or it is locked already then a full recovery with reformat may be needed. -

Hello. I dropped my ipad, first gen, from my chair to the floor. The screen went black and I can't start it again. I have tried to hold both buttons down at the same time, but nothing happens. Any help?
You will probably have to contact Apple for repair but before you do try this:
Turn your iPad upside down on your lap and give it a hard smack on the back. -
just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now
I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
I hope this helps you my friend! -
Hello, I have creative cloud installed on my Mac Book Pro - OS X 10.9. 5 When trying to download trial programs, a popup window shows the message " you have been disconnected" Connect to continue. The same message comes after repeated attempt to entering the login and password info. How can I solve this?
Hi Jeff,
Here is the screenshot of the window which comes after any attempt to download a trial version. It is in French, it means you have been disconnected, connect to continue. -
I recently did the latest update, and then I charged my Ipad 2 afterwards. I went to use my Ipad 2 days later, and it would not even turn on. Then after a couple minutes, the apple logo appeared as if it were loading. It continued to do this for a few minutes, and then the screen starting turning on and off. Then 5 minutes after that, my lock screen appeard and froze. Then it shut itself off again. I tried plugging my ipad into Itunes to do the recovery restore, but I kept getting error messages.
Unable to Update or Restore
